The Failure of Conservatism in Modern British Poetry

English | 2003 | ISBN: 1844710327 | 356 pages | PDF | 1.3 MB

A treatment of 40 years of British poetry from the angle of time. We watch the wonderful helplessness of new poetics as it struggles to free itself from the chrysalis of the old. We watch the life-cycle of new ideas as they open up chaos, channel it into permanent form, and age into predictability and disillusion. We realise the strangeness of the past and go in to sample lost sounds and exotic shapes.
